Jint

Input and forms ​

Host input uses the same trusted input dispatcher as the DevTools Protocol path:

csharp
await page.FillAsync("#email", "ada@example.org");
await page.TypeAsync("#search", "jint");
await page.PressAsync("Enter");
await page.ClickAsync("#save");
await page.SelectAsync("#country", "FR");
await page.HoverAsync("#menu");
await page.ScrollToAsync(800);

Element targets can be CSS selectors or ref= values produced by an accessibility snapshot:

csharp
var snapshot = await page.AccessibilitySnapshotAsync(includeReferences: true);
await page.ClickAsync("ref=42");

References belong to one document and stop resolving after navigation.

  • FillAsync focuses, selects all, and inserts one replacement.
  • TypeAsync preserves the current value and dispatches keys one character at a time.
  • PressAsync targets the focused element, or the body when nothing is focused.
  • ClickAsync scrolls the target into view and runs link, button, checkbox, radio, label, summary, and option activation.
  • SelectAsync matches an option by value, then by visible text, and fires input followed by change.

Methods that name an element return false when no suitable target exists.

SubmitFormAsync("#form") runs validation, submit, entry-list construction, formdata, and GET or POST submission. It returns null when nothing matched, validation failed, or submission was cancelled.

Input uses a deterministic synthetic box model, not visual layout. See Limitations.
